Dear Kelly inwards the Past - 

It’s Kelly from the future. I’m writing y'all for several reasons. To remind me simply how far I’ve come upward whenever stress in addition to sadness start to creep inwards regarding life amongst the large D.
And how far I nonetheless involve to cash inwards one's chips inwards fellowship to accomplish all that life has to offer.
And to remind others that life goes on in addition to happiness happens, regardless of diabetes. That there’s materials (shit) that y'all to involve to motility past times inwards fellowship to indeed, alive in addition to flourish - d related or not.

And that every bit a kid or adult amongst diabetes, y'all involve to alive in addition to experience ALL life has to offer.

First off Kelly, delight recollect no thing how tough life gets amongst diabetes or otherwise – y'all deserve the best life has to offering you.  
Your non damaged goods because of a faulty pancreas. And every fourth dimension that vocalism of self doubtfulness speaks regarding your self worth in addition to what y'all deserve, recollect that everyone – diabetes or non - is never born perfect, no thing how they appear on the outside.

Everyone on populace is born amongst imperfections in addition to issues in addition to that’s component of life. 
Don’t intend y'all deserve less because a really pocket-size component of your pancreas doesn’t function.

Only the dead are perfect, in addition to that’s because our retentivity allows that inwards fellowship for us to acquire past times the grief. 

You deserve it all. To last loved, accepted, in addition to respected. You deserve to give your dreams, instead of worrying in addition to then much nigh your wellness in addition to what the hereafter holds, that y'all really concord yourself dorsum inwards the present.

Look to all the positives your diabetes has given instead of simply the negatives.

Would y'all genuinely last such an empathetic, funny, intuitive someone had diabetes non entered your life?  

To that gangly 8-year amongst the human face upward total of freckles - You don’t have got to last in addition to then brave nigh it all. It’s OK to proper substantive inwards front end of your identify unit of measurement regarding your diagnoses. Your identify unit of measurement is scared in addition to lamentable too.  

Continue to await to the funny every bit agency to direct hold your diagnoses. You’ll last tempted to rebel in addition to comprehend the angry side of things. Don’t. It's wastes energy, confidence, in addition to precious fourth dimension that you’ll never acquire back. 

Your kickoff Endo doctor Baker was right, “you’ll alone pain yourself.” 

Adolescent Kel, I know your parents drive your crazy, peculiarly nigh your diabetes.
Please hold inwards heed that they are suffering in addition to stressing themselves. 
But because they love you, they aren’t going to present y'all how horrible your diabetes makes THEM feel!  
Now, they mightiness involve some persuading to permit y'all exercise a few things (like habiliment contacts) but they really permit y'all exercise in addition to then much to a greater extent than than they really were every comfortable with.
They’ve permit y'all cash inwards one's chips on sleepovers; they’ve sent y'all to camp, allowed y'all to trip the calorie-free fantastic toe in addition to perform on stage, in addition to ever had orangish juice waiting inwards the wings. They permit y'all piece of job in addition to earn spending coin in addition to every bit a child, they never permit y'all wallow inwards anything fifty-fifty resembling diabetes self pity. They didn’t permit anyone else to allow y'all to wallow inwards it either. 

They prepared y'all to last an independent adult. Some day, y'all volition appreciate it to a greater extent than than y'all ever idea possible.

There volition come upward a fourth dimension inwards your life when you’ll realize all they did amongst the cognition that was available to them, which at the fourth dimension – wasn’t much. You volition last thankful.

I know your scared nigh your sister. I also know your really angry. That’s OK.
Talk to someone.

Speak upward when someone hurts you, instead of beingness stoic. Stoic is for the birds - it's bullshit. 
Taking inwards all that wound in addition to anger alone hurts y'all inwards the long run, no 1 else.  

To quote Don Henley (whom y'all volition have got a major musical rhythm out on inwards your belatedly teens) said it best.  “Carrying all that anger, volition simply swallow y'all upward inside.”

Kelly, this is a hard one. Forgive in addition to motility on. Let things in addition to people cash inwards one's chips who have got wound you, no thing how hard it mightiness be. Remove the weight of sadness from some cervix in addition to surroundings yourself amongst those who non simply comprehend you, but who comprehend positivity every bit well. You volition acquire in addition to then many wonderful lessons from them!

Don’t grapple diabetes, OWN IT. Because the infinitesimal y'all start to convey your diabetes, y'all volition discovery that many of the issues that y'all struggle amongst regarding diabetes, volition autumn to the side every bit y'all get to cash inwards one's chips empowered past times ownership of your disease.

What y'all volition last left amongst is a feeling of command regarding non simply your disease, but also your life. 

Forget what’s pop amongst masses in addition to cash inwards one's chips amongst what your optic knows is right. 

Teen Kelly, Remember that those kids who made fun of y'all because of those horrible spectacles (and peradventure your diabetes, but non in addition to then much,) y'all had to wear, mightiness have got been picked on for reasons that inwards actuality, had absolutely zip to exercise amongst you.
Most probable their parents didn’t empathize the whole diabetes thing in addition to children acquire from their parents.
Maybe (and simply every bit likely,) they had problems at habitation much greater than your fourteen yr former self ever imagined. Problems that were fifty-fifty bigger than your diabetes.
Problems similar parents divorcing; eating disorders, sickness inwards their ain families, in addition to struggles within themselves that they shared amongst no one. Perhaps they suffered from such a poor self-image that picking on your visible imperfections helped them to ignore their own.

Instead of thinking that they mightiness last right, know that they are incorrect in addition to are unhappy.  
Ignore them in addition to focus on the positive. 

And halt wanting a olfactory organ chore for god sakes – trust me, you’ll grow into your olfactory organ in addition to last grateful that your non 1 of those poor people who are walking some amongst minuscule olfactory organ on large featured face.


Kelly At 16: When someone compliments you, await them direct inwards the eye, amongst a grin on your face, in addition to tell “Thank-you.” Regardless of whether y'all intend y'all deserve or not.
A compliment is 2 fold. Yes, it’s given to brand the receiver experience good, but it also makes the someone giving the compliment experience good.
Don’t diminish or belittle the persons endeavor to last overnice in addition to confident past times brushing it aside in addition to beingness embarrassed past times the variety words said on your behalf.  

And recollect those compliments, they volition acquire y'all through the self-doubt.

Listen, I know y'all don’t desire to hear this, but shoulder pads in addition to helmet pilus are indeed a "Glamour Don’t," regardless of what Teen Magazine says.

And yes, your mom in addition to was correct - Bangs are non your best look, in addition to iridescent lipstick mightiness piece of job for some, but is simply makes y'all await sick.

Kelly at 20: You volition last in addition to then happy y'all started amongst the whole xxx & 50 sunscreen thing, in addition to your vii yr peel innovation – TRUST ME. And FYI, the tan goddess bitch who called y'all "Casper' when y'all were dating her ex fellow – her human face upward looks similar a Catcher's mitt now.

Don’t essay in addition to then hard to examine how normal you are “in spite” of beingness a diabetic.  
You volition realize that what’s normal for some, is completely abnormal for others, in addition to that’s ok. What I’m trying to tell is, your normal is dissimilar that someone else’s, in addition to your normal plant for you. So run amongst it!


Kelly inwards your 20’s: Embrace ALL of who y'all are.
Go subsequently your dreams, instead of listening to what others intend y'all should exercise or be. 

22 yr former Kelly: Remember to tell those y'all love, that y'all exercise indeed love them, no thing how much they mightiness drive y'all crazy. The people y'all love won’t last some forever. And trust me, y'all volition immature lady them terribly when they’re gone. 

Kelly, proficient telephone band regarding your parents. You volition last incredibly grateful that y'all started to tell “I love you” every fourth dimension y'all said goodbye. They learned to tell it back, in addition to they began to tell it first, in addition to often. Soon, it flowed to a greater extent than freely than beer at a bbq - in addition to all of y'all volition know how deep the love really was, in addition to is.

To 27 yr former Kelly: You are NOT fat, in addition to no, your non track thin. But your parents were right, y'all are beautiful, within in addition to out! Please meet that instead of alone the imperfections. 

I know that your scared that history volition repeat itself - it volition not. 
Your doing what y'all have got to do, seat whatever mistakes y'all made amongst your diabetes inwards the past, in addition to acquire from them. It volition non alone atomic number 82 y'all to proficient wellness – but to a wonderful populace regarding the diabetes community. I populace that you’ve tried to nigh out instead of embracing for a really long time. 

Let the guilt cash inwards one's chips regarding Debbie. You did the best y'all could. 

To 33-year-old Kelly: Someone who has no love or self- abide by for them self, volition never have got whatever for y'all – no thing what they say. If they don’t love, like, in addition to abide by who they are, they can’t love, like, & abide by you.  

Don’t surroundings yourself amongst people who won’t exercise the piece of job on themselves, they’ll alone blame y'all for what they lack from within.

Kelly inwards existent time: Remember also hold loving yourself – all parts of you.

Hold your caput up, proceed to learn, proceed to laugh, in addition to most definitely proceed to love.  
You are older in addition to wiser. Life has been total of changes, in addition to going amongst the menses gets a fleck tricky at times, but y'all are lucky to last inwards the world, in addition to the populace is lucky to have got you.
